We link everything first and then start linking individually for rolls. I’m surprised there isn’t an addon for this type of thing. Is there? Poor loot master is always left behind…which is fine if he smells.

I totally agree about having to look at the loot from a boss in a raid. If you wait for the master looter to link it 1) you have a limited amount of time to see it at the same time they want you to roll and 2) the way it is set up, it is easier to shift-click the item on the boss so you can do an active compare of your items. Points go to the gnome!

1st up…
I know I wasn’t very clear in my original post and reading some of the WoWInsider comments related to this subject (Yay more linkage), people think what I am asking for is easy mode…

The thing is, some quests already have a similar mechanic. ie. the quest in The Nexus. When one person completes the quest everyone does.

@*vlad*: I don’t mind the flavor of “bringing back the head”, but it’s a bugger when you get all the way back to the quest giver, only to discover the head is still on the mob.

This is exacerbated when in a Heroic… once per day… get it right first time or FAIL!

@pewpewlazerz: Clearly the important part is I am a LONG way off getting the mechanostrider… but a Gnome can dream.
But Champion of Gnomeregan is within my grasp… but I think I might stop there.

@Cathy: If Blizz gave me my mechanical flying mount… I would shut up… but they wont, so neither will I!

As for loot linking… I know it’s just a slip on the lootmaster’s part… But I hate it when everyone else is discussing it, and I have no idea what IT is. Really, if anybody that stuck their head in the loot sack linked I would be happy.

@Zaralin: as easy as it seems, it escapes some people. I even yelled at my mates the other night for not linking. Glad that was points TO the Gnome, not AT the Gnome.
